2009 All-Star Team elcome to the 2009 EventDV 25, a land where legends are born and careers are made. Or maybe it’s just a place where legends and careers already established are recognized, where the achievements of the best and brightest in our industry are simply given their due by their peers—the folks who have felt the impact of those achievements most acutely and, thus, are in the best position to recognize them and acclaim the way they are shaping our industry. If there’s one phrase that best describes this industry over the 5 years we’ve been doing these awards, it’s shape-shifting. Call it what you will— evolution, revolution, or just a constant state of flux—but ours is certainly a world where, over time, little remains constant but change itself. So it should come as no surprise that in the event filmmaking world, as elsewhere, fame can be fleeting; the old “flavor of the month” tag can often apply here, and Andy Warhol’s idea of “15 minutes of fame” has become, if anything, even more precarious in these parts as the most celebrated films in our industry get shorter and shorter. What I’ve always liked about the EventDV 25 is that you don’t need some lofty pedigree to be recognized as one of the 25 hottest and most influential event filmmakers in the world; you don’t even need a hall of fame-worthy body of
W
work. In many ways we’re an industry built on peer education, peer review, and peer recognition. And if what you’re doing right now is making you stand out from the crowd as first—or even 25th— among your equals and inspiring your peers to do what they do better, or with more passion, profitability, and purpose, you’re as qualified as anyone to make this list. Some all-stars may come and go; others may seem to come out of nowhere but make their impact felt quickly and unmistakably. And then there are those who crash the gates, make their mark, and leave the impression that they’re here for the long haul. All of this year’s 11 first-time all-stars, in one way or another, fit that bill. Some of them aren’t exactly rookies, but they’ve all carved out well-deserved spots for themselves on the list this year, and I doubt we’ve seen the last of any of them in the all-star ranks. Read on for all our 2009 all-stars’ stats and stories. And just in case you missed it, you can watch the 2009 All-Star Awards Show here at http://tinyurl.com/ 2009EDV25.

The EventDV 25
2009 All-Star Team
As co-founder of IN[FOCUS] and 4-time EventDV 25 studio Studio Vieux Carre, Julian St Pierre wasn’t just a great friend and leader of the industry; he was also a friend to many, many people within it, myself included. Julian’s great sense of humor, his energy, his signature Spielberg look, his unmistakable, inimitable New Orleans raconteur’s voice, and his endless enthusiasm for just about any undertaking he could draw you into were absolutely infectious.
